I wouldn't be so sure about that. I'm not an American, but my view about them (which is mostly from Slashdot) is that the most conservative and restrictive (i.e. the ones pushing various censorship acts) and the same ones who oppose gun control. If printing your own weapons becomes possible, Americans won't allow shutting down the maker community simply because it's a form of gun control.
I don't know, I've never seen it used with anything except Macs. That said, Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Wireless-Keyboard-MC184LL-VERSION/dp/B005DLDO4U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1345662872&sr=8-2&keywords=apple+keyboard) says this
System Requirements
* Bluetooth-enabled Mac computer with Mac OS X v10.6.8 or later and existing keyboard and mouse for initial setup.
* iPad (some function keys designed for use on the Mac will not work on iPad)
From your link, the Apple Wireless keyboard costs $69. In Europe that apparently translates to around €75. For that money, you get something you can't carry around, has no other uses except for Apple devices, and will kill your wrists and/or fingers.
There's also "three types of sperm" hypothesis: Men in long-term relationships produce more "blockers", while rapists probably have more "egg-getters", so they are more likely to conceive this way.
I never managed to find any citations for this hypothesis.
I mean, we can probably guess which Korea they're referring to here, but last time I checked, they hadn't been reunified yet.
You mean the South Koreans (with some help from Bill) embraced their northern brothers, and are now trying to extend their power generation capabilities?
Actually, it does. I have a KDE desktop set up in this way:
- I'm using a menubar widget in a panel at the top of the screen. It looks just like the top toolbar in OSX, except it's Plasma themed.
- If the current window is not fullscreen, moving the mouse over another one does not change the focus, so I can reach the menubar.
- If I roll the mouse wheel while doing so, the window under the mouse scrolls, not the active one.
Basically, I get the main benefit of focus-follows-mouse (scrolling), without the side effect of changing the menubar. Note that this is KDE's default behavior (obviously I had to add the menubar widget myself), so it doesn't require any editing of config files.
The tool behing systemctl is called systemd and noticeably speeds up the boot process. It is not by any means related to Wayland, or Unity, or PulseAudio.
The systemctl interface itself is not the most intuitive (no config file to edit, having to type kdm.service instead of just kdm), but systemd is an improvement, not an abortion.
Yes, however there are many evil companies. Fortunately, only a few of them are big and important enough to make a difference in the life of Slashdot posters, even those who aren't customers of said companies. Microsoft was one of them (probably still is), but now so is Apple.
I know the OBS, I have used it for a couple of years, and although it was for only one project, I know how cool, useful and unique it is. I would never dispute its value to both distributions and developers. However, it is not what the summary says.
It doesn't matter. She might care about this, but:
- Once in office, and offered some nice benefits, her priorities will probably change
- Still, it's just one person out of many
Nope. The original definition (by some French guy, according to Wikipedia) was that 1 calorie heats one gram of water by 1 *C. I remember learning that the original definition was for one kilogram, that's why it was called kilocalorie, and was first measured by Joule. Wikipedia contradicts my history knowledge, but not my numbers.
You seem to be misusing/misplacing the decimal point there. To heat 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree, you need 4186 Joules or 4.2 kJ. So you can heat up 5.5 liters of water to 100 degrees, or (more realistically) 11 liters of water to 60 degrees.
Slashdot Mirror
Historically, they're a bit more tolerant about that math thing.
Yes, they do show at least a qubit of interest in this.
(No replicators or transporters yet.)
Do you mean ST or SG replicators?
Good to know, thanks. So it's probably like all those peripherals that came with "requires Windows 95 or newer" but also worked on Linux.

I don't know why it would be so difficult to put a spacecraft in orbit around Mars, or land on the place.
In other countries: Budget constraints, lack of testing, bad political decisions, simply not being as awesome as America.
In the US: imperial/metric unit mixups.

But on the bright side, it will sing 'Daisy' to you.
This is the smartest thing I've read in a while. Thank you!
(and while you're at it, apply to oil as well)

And all this time I thought the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation was supposed to be Microsoft. Apparently Apple is learning from their book as well.
If your shit's not safe in the Ukraine, it's not safe anywhere.

1. In movies, especially music videos
2. In schools
3. ???
4. Profit!
Author's note: The fourth item is actually appropriate here, slutty women tend to concentrate around men who make or have made significant profit.

You missed some:
The general tendency within the open source community is to a whole new wheel to push your own cart
Yes, open source developers tend to accidentally a whole wheel.
openSUSE leads the development of Gnome and KDE along with LibreOffice
What? openSUSE doesn't lead anything, they use the software, and usually assist in its development.
I think the authors are sarcastic/trolling, but Apple users don't notice it.

Simple, just use electricity we currently waste on drilling, refining and transportation of oil.
Where is the plastic used to make the bits for the cars going to come from?
I don't know, maybe from all the oil we won't be burning?
